The Comet J There.
HOW TO LOCATE IT WITH CLASSES OR
THE NAKED EVE TAIL POINTS
UPWARD.
There is a real live comet in the
sky visible to the naked eye. It is
thought to be Bordame's comet, and
the tail seems to be about ten de
grees in length.
A gentleman who saw it last night
said : "The comet is quite bright
and easily visible to the naked eye,
even in the strong twilight of the
evening sky about 8.45 o'clock, and
can be observed in a fieldglass until
after ten o'clock. It has a very bright
nucleus and a tail which can be traced
for a distance of fully three degrees
from the head of the comet. If the
reported position of its discovery is
correct, it has moved about two de
grees toward the west since the 8th of
July. It will readily be found by
tracing a line through the star forming
the corner of the bowl of the great
dipper nearest the handle down through
the star at the opposite corner. Con
tinue this line nearly double the dis
tance between them downward and
two stars just in the corner of the
Ursa Major will be met. Just below
this about three degrees and a little to
the west the comet was seen, but it
will be found somewhat nearer the
two third magnitude stars noted this
evening. The tail points almest di:
rectly upward, though it does lean a
little toward the east."
We could not improve the quality if
paid double the price. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve is the best Salve
that experience can produce, or that
money can buy. W. S. Rishton, drug
gist. io-i4-iy.
